Bel Punto is an Italian fine dining restaurant that has been nestled in the heart of the North Coast town of Umdloti since 2004. Opening out on an expansive deck overlooking the Indian Ocean, a day or evening at Bel Punto can be rated amongst the most exceptional dining experiences in South Africa today. Part of the experience is the ever-present chance of sighting a pod of dolphins playing in the crisp surf and sunset drinks at Bel Punto are not to be missed. We specialize in Italian Food, best quality shellfish, exceptional grills and home made pastas and pizzas.

Very average. Service was the least friendly of all Umdloti restuarants we have been too . The fillet steak was flavour less , the chicken dry. The previous night was juicy steak and moist chicken.
Very disappointed given the reviews

Pel Punto was a delightful spot for a December lunch with friends. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel welcome. We enjoyed the italian fine dining, Gamberi alla Grigli, and everyone raved about fish and seafood the Pesce e frutti di mare. Overall,...it was a a very great experience, and we'd definitely recommend it!More

We have visited Bel Punto in the past whilst on holiday from the UK and had always been impressed. Have to say nothing seems to have changed. Last night on arrival we were greeted and shown to a great table, attentively looked after by Taffy...our waitress, and served the most delicious food and wine. This restaurant deserves all the accolades it gets. As I said, we have visited over a number of years and it appears that they continue to provide an excellent and professional service. I would not hesitate to recommend Bel Punto to anyone thinking of visiting.More

While we did not book, we easily got a table and were warmly welcomed. The menu was given with a lovely appetizer and drinks were quickly served from a comprehensive wine list etc. We had planned to come just for starters but the food and...the atmosphere were so pleasant, we ended up having 2 calamari starters plus tiramisu which were beautifully flavored. This restaurant bridges the gap between mid-range and fine dining, so the food and 3 glasses of wine plus a bottle of water cost nearly R800. Our waitress, Tafadzwa, was just great and gracious as were the others who assisted.More

An excellent lunch in stunning surroundings, with an invoice that also stuns (a bit), but worth it for a special occasion.

There are only a few times when I feel the need to write a review, but when somewhere deserves it, then it gives me great pleasure toi share my experience.
Not only is the Bel Punto welcoming and attentive as soon as you arrive, the...menu contains some of the best Italian cuisine that I have ever tasted.
It’s a family run affair and you can see that they love their business as do the staff who are there for your every need. All done with grace and sincerity.
I cannot rate this restaurant enough.More

This spot continues to be the best in Durban and is world class as always.We have tried to veer away from our favorite dishes in the last couple of visits and have not been disappointed.

Heard so much about this restaurant but we found the experience underwhelming Portions were small. Steak in sauce starter disappointing, Kingklip was tasty but dish incomplete, roasted vegetables basic and cherry dessert terrible. Waiters were charming but service slow Overpriced

The location is nice, the service is friendly and professional, the food is very good and fresh, but 400R for the catch of the day and a 250ml sparkling water...
That was nicely cooked, but the price are definitely too high.
I wouldn't have minded...to have a desert, but I was scared for my wallet.
I'm used to spend money for fine dining, but then, I have more.More
